Oku is a true gem in Santa Barbara! 🌊✨ The rooftop seating offers stunning views, making it perfect for a romantic dinner. I ordered the miso-glazed black cod and it was divine - so tender and flavorful!

The service was attentive and friendly, and I loved their impressive tea selection. 🍵 The cozy atmosphere, enhanced by the fireplace, made it a delightful dining experience.

Just a heads up: reservations are definitely recommended, as it can get busy, but the wait is worth it! Can’t wait to return for more sushi goodness... 🍣
